Dealer installed 3.5.1 on 11-28-12 and only two things "glitched" to a moment but cleared on next drive. The message "remote parking sensor ON" appeared and stayed in the display until I got where I was going - drive home was fine. And trying to switch to SiriusXM kept going to HD radio. Again, once shut off it was fine when started again.

Other then that, everything appears to be working, and performing faster.

And the temp now shows in the top of screen, which it did not before (I've only had this car three months and it came with v3.0.2 in it). And the NAV once again shows the street/road I'm on when displayed in the quad boxes.

Well now the select music via genre using Voice Command seems to be working. I guess it was not fully indexed and did not finish building the voice commands when I first tried. So....I am liking this upgrade!

Well that was short lived. Got in my car and right after I started the sound system turned on and starting playing the first song on the SD Card.

And the problem getting it to play genre "blues" via voice command is back. Every time I try it plays Rock stuff. But it will work if I do it manually via the touch screen.

I really hope that the next thing the mft team fixes is the media playback, it's so horrible. Just got back from Christmas shopping and the car decided to randomly index my zune 120 for no apparent reason, tune to a random radio channel and failed to keep my chosen station the next time the car was turned back on. Nevermind the teeny tiny scrolling of the station meta data and number scrunched in the corner of the display. What a joke. And this is on top of the problems I've already had with it. All bugs.

Weird. Fitting that Ford couldn't even manage to implement that simple fix consistently!

My gut tells me that's simply a byproduct of upgrading over existing software instead of wiping the drive clean and installing fresh. One thing wrong along the chain and it will always be wrong unless Ford decides to overwrite it.

Agreed. One of the reasons I got MFT was because I was told updates would be available online. I would gladly visit the dealer if it made the updates more stable. In addition, it seems every update requires a new NAV card... ergo a trip to the dealer. That's why I don't have 3.5.1 yet. I'm just going to wait until January and/or until others start getting NAV cards in the mail and I grow impatient.

slightly off topic here but does anyone w/ v. 3.5 notice if mft dims faster at night when the headlights are turned on?

mine dims but it takes prob 30 seconds.. yea, i know that's not long but as all the other gauges are already dimmed it seems brighter and longer than it is.... just wondering if newer versions than my (perfectly working) v 2.11 dim faster.. thnx.
